Can I please have your honest thoughts on the below list?

Girls names
Eden
Eliza
Amelie
Ava
Faith
Fearne
Imogen
Sienna
Sophie
Willow

Boys names
Elijah
Joseph
Luca
Lucas
Oscar
Raphael
Reuben
Theodore

Obviously some names just won't be to everyone's taste but it would be good to know if any of these names are ridiculously popular, have any negative associations, or names that will mean the child will need to carry off a certain personality.

The only two that make me think of anything are Eden - The garden and Fearne - fearne cotton. My son has one of those names and a couple of my daughters friends have those names. I think a lot of them are popular but nice.

Girls names all nice but Ava has been done to the death in the NE, i know loads of them, i like Eliza

Boys names i like all of them, the most common one i would say is Lucas/Luca but i really like the name, like Theodore but pretty popular used as Theo. I like Reuben, my favourite boys name atm is Jesse

OP If you want to know about popularity, this government site will tell you. (Data for 2014 not released until later this year):

Ava, Oscar and Theo are all pretty popular. Amelie, Sienna and Luca, to me, feel quite faddy, very 2009-2015. Fearne is Cotton. Faith would possibly suggest you are quite religious. Otherwise, I would think they're all pretty solid, especially the boys' names. Like Eliza, Joseph, Raphael and Lucas best.
